    Well, I was mentioning Nina events that had very negative PDO, but yea, those seasons had some PNA, too.
  2. 40/70 Benchmark
    I believe so...he said health dependent.

    It can be surprising sometimes...I actually forecasted a +PNA DEC....obviously the PDO and PNA are positively correlated, but not always. That vomit bucked of a 2011-2012 season actually had +PNA. And even when it is negative in the mean, there are more stochastic fluctuations that can allow us to cash in if they are timely. Of course, Jan 2011 had one such period. I know you are aware of all of this...just saying.

    This is a splendid illustration of the value of researching a winter outlook and formulating your own ideology with respect to the evolution of the season...you don't lose your mind waffling with seasonal guidance. You win some and lose some, but the losses are very educational.

    I will go to the grave swearing that Jan 2011 would not have been so epic if la nina were weaker....strong east based la nina and modoki el nino events are rare birds, and it's why seasons like 2010-2011, 1955-1956, 2002-2003 and 2009-10 are so exceptional. It's about the location of the forcing, and if it is well placed, then you want it to be a very prominent hemispheric driver.

    Not professional ones, anyway lol Those days are gone for me.

    Its okay... I'd like the PNA ridge a bit further east and the NAO ridge further west.
  8. 40/70 Benchmark
    The NAO and AO should at the very least not be significantly positive this season.

    Regardless of what does on with this next event, I feel good moving forward. Still won't be shocked to see plowable somewhere in SNE before Novie closes.

    Garth and I used to do that...bar hope around ORH late night.
  11. 40/70 Benchmark
    I'll probably be there until at least 6ish...depends on what others do, but I have no obligations that day.

    Where were you living exactly? December 1981 is the 5th snowiest on record dating back to 1956 for my area north of Boston. Logan airport had very healthy snows...17.6" for the month with about a 1' on 12/6. It does look as though there was a rather steep gradient, as Central Park had a meager 2.1". This is also consistent with my expectation...not necessarily that extreme of a gradient, though. Dec 1981 reminds me of Dec 2007 with that sharp cutoff.

    1981-1982 is aligned pretty closely to my expectations for the NE, though perhaps January and February maybe flipped from that year.

    Phil from the cape?

    Jeff deserves like a 100" this season....talk about a porking last season. I got screwed, but not like that..wow. At least ma nature used a lube with me.
  16. 40/70 Benchmark
    I guess if your goal is measurable in the hills, then its worth watching.....that isn't outlandish.
  17. 40/70 Benchmark
    I'm not excited about that. There should be a significant storm, but I don't think its much of any snow for SNE...as it stands now.
  18. 40/70 Benchmark
    Stayed above freezing in my area...thankfully.
  19. 40/70 Benchmark
    I'm pretty confident that the polar domain will not be much of an issue this season....at least in the DJFM mean.

    One final round of strengthening does not bother me in the slightest. I would be more concerned if it were becoming a modoki and remaining the same intensity. A marked drop that is relegated to the eastern zones is a recipe for a relatively fruitful la nina season for east coast winter enthusiasts.
  22. 40/70 Benchmark
    2-3 months....but just watch the VP charts...at the end of the day, the convective forcing needs to move east or nothing matters.
  23. 40/70 Benchmark
    It is basin wide...its just focusing more east with time.
  24. 40/70 Benchmark
    Agree for the most part, but it could still sneak into moderate ONI. 2/3 strong el nino the next year, too.
  25. 40/70 Benchmark
    Nice. Doing mine next Sunday....should be all down by then, and no Pat's game.
